"I had the pleasure of working with Eric Wagner during the 2025 Elf Town season, where he worked as one of our Santa performers across a high-volume immersive theatrical Christmas experience. Eric was an absolute standout member of the performance team throughout the season. From the moment he stepped into the role, he brought an incredible warmth, authenticity, professionalism, and emotional depth to his portrayal of Santa. What makes a truly exceptional Santa performer is the ability to create genuine magical moments for families while maintaining consistency, energy, and patience across extremely demanding days — and Eric delivered this effortlessly. His improvisational ability, engagement with children and families, and natural instinct for heartfelt performance made him incredibly popular with both guests and management alike. He had a remarkable ability to make every interaction feel personal and special, which is an invaluable skill within immersive and live performance environments. Beyond his performance ability, Eric was also an absolute joy to work with as part of the wider team. He was reliable, collaborative, adaptable, and consistently approached the role with positivity and professionalism. He embodied exactly the type of performer you hope to have within a guest-facing theatrical environment. I would have absolutely no hesitation in recommending Eric for future acting, immersive theatre, live event, or performance opportunities and truly hope to work with him again in the future."
